SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     makekey

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The makekey utility has been deprecated and will be removed in a future
     release of FreeBSD.

     The makekey utility encrypts a key and salt which it reads from the standard
 input and writes the result to the standard output.  The key is
     expected to be eight bytes; the salt is expected to be two bytes.	See
     crypt(3) for more information on what characters the key and salt can
     contain and how the encrypted value is calculated.
